Researchers from Russia and Britain have demonstrated an artificial quantum system in which a quantum bit interacts with an acoustic resonator in the quantum regime. This allows quantum optics principles to be applied in the study of acoustic waves and enables an alternative approach to quantum computer design based on acoustics. It could also make quantum computers more stable and compact. The paper reporting the results was published in Physical Review Letters.
